She inks one side of a real, locally caught fish then presses paper onto the fish to transfer the ink to create an exact mirrored image. Beautiful. And there’s free 2nd Sunday stuff. Pick up a post-it everybody loves post-its!

Then, on to Hasell Street for The Lowcountry Nosh, the Jewish food and heritage festival held annually as part of 2nd Sunday by KKBE. Takes up the whole block on Hasell Street. So many delicacies, so little time. And pickles! KKBE is the second oldest synagogue in the United States and the oldest in continuous use. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1980.
